Channel Title: Jose's Extreme DIY Channel Description: Here is a collection of my do it yourself videos of projects. Some of the projects are fairly simple. Others are more complex and involved, hence the "Extreme". The latest is my series on restoring a 1966 Boston Whaler 13. I'm almost finished with the series and it's coming out better than I could have expected! Automotive repairs are going to be a standard here, once I get done with the Whaler you'll see a lot more of these. I will be doing reviews on the tools that I use and plan on doing some giveaways! I will be putting up some videos on plain outdoors fun as well, fishing related and I'm planning some drone videos, which should be a blast since I have never flown one before!

It definitely has some conveniences, including built in charging cables, solar charging and a hand crank generator. Although I don't generally do tech reviews, I figured I would do one for this since I picked it up to power up the cameras when we're off site. I cover a few of those situations as well. #powerbank #solarpower #portablecharger </video> <video> Thread Gauge by Vktoma Aluminum Bolt and Nut Identifier Review Description: Check out this cool thread gauge I recently ran into and of course got it. Probably one of the shortest videos on my channel but I really like having one of these in the shop and wanted to share this with you.

In this case, I am working on an F70 engine. There are a few steps that I believe are important and I'll cover those here. One area I do not cover is the lower unit fluid and changing the oil on a four stroke outboard. I'll cover those on a separate video at a later date, probably as part of a 100 hour maintenance topic. One last note, I don't typically disconnect the fuel line and I don't run it dry. Well, I did a part two for lubrication fluids here https://youtu.be/oL7AqtzWC28 Here are paid affiliate links to some of the products I used in this video Electric Flare: https://amzn.to/4flLP2f Grease Gun: https://amzn.to/4f06Rnl Grease: https://amzn.to/3NJieUP Fogging Oil https://amzn.to/3Ajs3FU 00:00 Introduction 00:28 Fuel Stabilizer 00:50 Lubricating your Steering Rod 04:34 Lubricating Trailer Wheel Hubs 04:56 Check Your Flares! 05:30 Check Tilt Trim Fluid 07:13 What Type of Tilt Trim Fluid to Use 07:50 Fogging the Engine 10:19 Draining all the Water Out of the Outboard 11:50 Wrapping it up #yamaha #boat #engine </video> <video> How To Do A Subaru CVT TR580 Transmission Flush 2015 Impreza Sport Description: In this video we do a flush on a Subaru Impreza. The TR580 CVT transmissions do need to be serviced periodically. The Drain and fill method works, you can alternatively remove the cooling hoses and do it that way as well. This is a bit easier and although there is some mixing of the old and new fluid it really isn't as much as you would think. As far as a drop and fill, I do that on every other drain and fill, which II guess would actually be a drop and fill , hehe. Before I get to much criticism, I will be doing a relearn on this in the next video. Just waiting on the scan tool I want to use for that video.

Replace Stream light Scorpion Sleeve Description: In this video I show how to easily remove and replace a rubber sleeve on a stream light scorpion flashlight using compressed air. #shorts #streamlight #tactical </video> <video> Yamaha F-Series Outboard Winterization Part 2 - Oil Change and Lower Unit Fluid Description: In my last winterization video, I got some comments on how you should change the engine oil and lower unit fluid. It was pointed out that in the northern climates, any water in the lower unit may freeze and crack the case. So I am following up with this video as a Part 2 winterization of a Yamaha F Series (F70 in this case) outboard winterizing video. Mostly for the Northern states. It was also pointed out that I missed the third Zerk on the F70.... Oops, I show that here as well. In case you missed it, here's part 1 https://youtu.be/FEa4CedDff4 As usual, comments are welcome and your feedback is appreciated!

This scanner can do CVT transmission relearns which is the primary reason I chose it. This scan tool, althugh relatively inexpensive, has a considerable amount of power ranging from ECU coding to relearns and 15+Considering resets. Considering the level of functionality it provides, it is a pretty good tool for the price. I'll probably do a short in the near future on doing a CVT relearn with this ODBII scan tool As an interesting side note, Kingbolen and Launch are related brands. #autorepair #scanner #obd2 </video> <video> Yamaha Vs Powertech 13.25x14 Propeller Showdown! Yamaha F70 on a Montauk 17 Description: In this video I pitch (no pun intended) the Powertech 13.25x14 against the Yamaha Performance 13.25x14 Propeller on a 1983 Boston Whaler Montauk 17. Both of these props are mentioned in Continuous Wave as well as Whaler Central anf The Hull Truth forums as being the ideal prop for a Yamaha F70 mounted on classic Montauk 17 hull. I believe the Yamaha prop gets a slight edge on the forums. Here are the two propellers: Yamaha Performance 3 MAR-GYT3B-V4-14 Powertech Red 3 13.25x14 I had the rare opportunity to put this to the test. I already had the Powertech prop and was fortunate enough to run into a slightly used but in great condition Yamaha prop so it was game on time for a shoot out! I'll say this in advance, without adjusting for factory deviations in pitch, the Powertech screw comes in with a negative slip. I understand this is theoretically impossible, but the entire concept of "Prop slip" is theoretical in itself. This I make no apologies for that, I'm just relaying the real life numbers I encountered under identical conditions for both. I do however address a common theory that the advertised pitch from manufacturers may be off. That seems to bring the Powertech numbers more in line with reality. Powertech-RED-3 13.25 x 14 Pitch AVG RPM 14.00 5835 86066.25 Gear Ratio 2.33 1056 2460.48 Theoretical Speed Actual AVG Speed 34.98 34.6 0.38 Prop Slip - 4.21% (Based on raw numbers with 14 pitch) 1.08% Based on changing Pitch in calculator to 14.75 Yamaha Prop MAR-GYT3B-V4-14 13.25x14 Pitch AVG RPM 14 6131 85834.00 Gear Ratio 2.33 1056 2460.48 Theoretical Speed Actual Speed 34.89 33.6 1.29 3.68% Prop Slip There are three basic numbers you need to calculate prop slip, the RPM, the gear ration of your engine and the speed you were traveling at for a given RPM. I used NMEA 2000 data for engine tachometer RPM's and GPS for SOG (Speed Over Ground) Here is a good place to get the actual formula or use their online calculator. https://www.hydrostreamforums.com/prop-slip-calculator 00:00 Introduction 01:20 Powertech 1st Run 03:15 Powertech 2nd Run 04:23 Prop Change 05:30 Yamaha 1st Run 07:54 Yamaha 2nd Run 09:55 Results Who Wins! #yamaha #powertech #propeller </video> <video> How To Fix Subaru P2764 P2763 Codes - Subaru TR580 Transmission Valve Body Solenoid Description: In this video I go over how replacing a solenoid on a Subaru Impreza TR580 transmission. Solenoid failure on the CVT valve bodies seem to be a common problem with Subaru's. The biggest catch here is that Subaru wont sell you the defective solenoid, they want you to replace the entire valve body, which generally run about a thousand dollars. As an FYI, I don't go over the entire process tart to finish, I focus mainly on the actual valve body. There are a number of excellent videos out there that cover the removal and replacement of the valve body as well as how to determine if you have a bad Torque Converter Lock Up solenoid, You'll find links to those below as well as in key moment of the video.

If you do, check out devilsubaruparts.com. Absolutely the best deal I could find online on the entire Subaru valve body kit. Speaking of which, the Subaru part #31825AA055 contains a new valve body, gasket, o-rings and the special plastic apron that protects the internals of the CVT transmission. </video> <video> Easy How To Bleed or Burp an Automotive Coolant System - Any Make or Model Car Description: How to fill and bleed an automotive radiator coolant system. in this case I'm using a Lisle kit to fill and "burp" a Subaru Impreza but other than the Subie additive, the process is basically the same for any vehicle that uses a liquid coolant. I know Subaru has fixed the Head Gasket problem they have had but considering this is a boxer engine, I will play it safe and add the magic Subaru coolant additive, the last thing I would want to do to this Impreza is replace the head gaskets!

Ray Martin, of Martin Marine Design, makes these platforms specifically for Boston Whalers and in this case the classic Montauk 17. My Montauk did not have a boarding ladder or a swim platform. Being part fish, I saw this as a huge lack my old butt would have a hard time getting back in the boat after a plunge (which I inevitably would take on a hot day). So getting and installing a quality swim platform has been on the top of my list of things to do. Martin Marine is a premier fabricator of marine products. The fact that this swim platform is customized to fit the classic Montauk made it the perfect choice for me. Raymond does amazing work and I would encourage you to look at his website. I hope he forgives me for some of the minor errors I may have made in installing this swim platform!

Description

Here is a collection of my do it yourself videos of projects. Some of the projects are fairly simple. Others are more complex and involved, hence the "Extreme". The latest is my series on restoring a 1966 Boston Whaler 13. I'm almost finished with the series and it's coming out better than I could have expected!

Automotive repairs are going to be a standard here, once I get done with the Whaler you'll see a lot more of these. I will be doing reviews on the tools that I use and plan on doing some giveaways! I will be putting up some videos on plain outdoors fun as well, fishing related and I'm planning some drone videos, which should be a blast since I have never flown one before!
